SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Change the SELinux security context of each FILE to CONTEXT. With
--reference, change the security context of each FILE to that of RFILE.
--dereference
affect the referent of each symbolic link (this is the default),
rather than the symbolic link itself
-h, --no-dereference
affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file
--reference=RFILE
use RFILE's security context rather than specifying a CONTEXT
value
-R, --recursive
operate on files and directories recursively
-v, --verbose
output a diagnostic for every file processed
-u, --user=USER
set user USER in the target security context
-r, --role=ROLE
set role ROLE in the target security context
-t, --type=TYPE
set type TYPE in the target security context
-l, --range=RANGE
set range RANGE in the target security context
The following options modify how a hierarchy is traversed when the -R
option is also specified. If more than one is specified, only the
final one takes effect.
-H if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory,
traverse it
-L traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered
-P do not traverse any symbolic links (default)
--help display this help and exit
--version
